Liaison Statement

From:	3GPP TSG T2

To:	S2

Cc:	N1

Subject:	

___________________________________________________________________________

T2 note S2's agreement with the proposal and work split contained in T2-99756 regarding Cell Broadcasting service (S2-99992/T2-99794).

The requirements for the protocol between the CBC and RNC will be contained in 23.041 and will be similar to those requirements for the CBC-BSC interface in GSM 03.41. However, it is felt by T2-SWG3 that the detail protocol specification (23.049) lies outside their responsibility as previously indicated in T2-99756, although historically T2-SWG3 (SMG4) took responsibility for GSM 03.49 which contained example protocols. SWG3 suggest that 23.049 should be a technical report rather than a technical specification.

In response to N1's liaison statement (N1-99A88/T2-99787), it is intended that the CBC in UMTS will be an evolved GSM Cell Broadcasting Centre in order to provide a seamless service with GSM.
